Watch: Climate Change, Human Mobility, and Community Resilience in California

Description

The fourth briefing in our series on climate change and human mobility examined how communities and local governments in California are addressing the growing challenge of climate-induced human mobility and displacement. Our panelists shared best practices for building community resilience across sectors, including expanding healthcare access for communities, leveraging data systems to anticipate migration patterns and coordinate resources, and developing adaptive infrastructure.
